    So, how about this #| ... |# thing?  Are you people convinced that it
    is acceptable?  Nobody objected when I suggested the idea to
    lisp-forum, so if I hear from the MacLisp/NIL people that they are
    willing to put it in their sharpsign macro I will go ahead and add it
    to the LispMachine reader.
It's acceptable to me, but I still think it's gross.  Of course, I've wanted
such a thing bad enough to implement one on occasion, but I STILL think it's
gross.
